• ON THIS DAY IN WWF HISTORY (September 13, 2001) – SmackDown [First WWF Show After 9/11]
On this day in 2001, the World Wrestling Federation aired an episode of their weekly TV show ‘WWF SmackDown!’.

It was broadcasted LIVE from the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas and featured matches & interviews, with the overall theme of paying tribute to those who lost their lives, their relatives, and those who were injured.
Here’s the card:
1. The Hardy Boyz vs. Hurricane Helms & Lance Storm

• WWE Advertising The Rock, Kane & Shane McMahon vs. DX For Next Week’s SmackDown
It looks like WWE made a mistake while sending the description for next week’s SmackDown to cable companies.
Below is what the description reads:
“It’s all out pandemonium on this week’s episode of SmackDown. In the main event the unlikely team of Shane McMahon, The Rock, and Kane battle D-Generation X. What role will Stone Cold Steve Austin play in all of this? Edge goes one-on-one with Hardcore Holly.”
This is actually the description for November 11, 1999 edition of WWF SmackDown!
While this is simply a mistake, we bet our Old School WWF fans wouldn’t mind seeing WWE air this 20 year old episode of SmackDown next week!
